Nothing was too much trouble as they were always happy to help and supported me through the whole process. They don’t just help you find work they offer you ongoing support if needed. Getting a job has lifted my spirits and made me feel worthy in my new town. It has lifted my confidence and self-esteem, I look forward to going to work and it keeps my mental health positive.” Said Darren.
